64 – Conflict 2

“… Lord Dern. “Are you inside?”

Just when I was about to conduct research on space expansion magic.

This time, Shien’s voice is heard from outside the lab.

As other people came to visit her one after another, she gave short answers, wondering what day it was today.

Shien gives me a recommendation in a somewhat calm voice.

“Can I open the door?”

“Let’s do that.”

In response to my short answer, Shien calmly comes inside, and continues her story while glancing at me.

“You don’t have to worry about me…. “I don’t want to disturb Lord Dern.”

Although he said he didn’t want to disturb me, I can see him continuing to glance at me and subtly trying to get my attention.

The words and actions were different, so I secretly laughed.

She tried to calm herself down and nodded her head.

“Yes.”

“…… “

After Shien was confirmed and killed, she became sullen.

She starts looking at me with a somewhat sad expression.

She thought that somehow she couldn’t know what to think, and she tried to tell her that it was okay to interrupt.

‘One hour later… let’s do it.’

I have a lot of research to do, and I am frustrated in many ways due to the Celestial God Church, Espin, and Rumi incidents. She

After taking a moment to compose herself while doing her research, she decided to speak her mind.

She continues her research with those thoughts in mind.

“… “Then please excuse me for a moment.”

Shien looked at me with her lips pouting, and then she tied her hair together, revealing the nape of her pure white neck.

‘… ‘It’s definitely pretty.’

Azure-colored hair that cannot be seen on Earth except when dyed.

Originally, seeing hair color like that would have felt strange.

‘I don’t know if it’s just because it’s pretty or because it fits the atmosphere well.’

I couldn’t help but be momentarily distracted by the thought that it was beautiful.

I was watching this in silence, thinking that this is what it feels like to be possessed.

Shien must have noticed my gaze and met my eyes and smiled brightly.

“…… “

I look away with a shy smile and notice that the corners of my ears are turning red.

I watched this in silence.

I shook my head lightly and decided to focus on my research.

After completing some research, I was taking a moment to catch my breath and stretch, when I saw Shien sleeping just like last time.

At first, I thought about waking up Shien.

‘The training and work as student council president will be quite difficult.’

I thought it would be better to let him sleep a little longer rather than wake him up, so I decided to cover him with a coat this time.

“… “Lord Dern.”

Before that, Shien gently opened his eyes.

He slowly reached out his hand and grabbed the hem of my clothes and spoke to me in a somewhat sullen voice.

“… “I really want to go on a date.”

“Date?”

When I ask again, Shien nods her head like a puppy caught in the rain and speaks calmly.

“It may seem stupid, but. I want to go on a date with Lord Dern, so much so that I dreamed of going on a date with Lord Dern last night.

I paused for a moment and answered, thinking I didn’t know what to say.

“I see.”

“… Yes. Of course, if you are busy… It won’t work, but… “

Shien says, ‘I can’t do that,’ and she glances at me.

I guess I wanted to go so much that I didn’t want to say no.

I smiled inwardly as I looked at Shien like that, and spoke to her as I placed Luna in her arms on her desk.

“It’s getting late at night today, so how about taking a walk rather than a date?”

“You mean taking a walk?”

I nod my head to that question.

Shien quickly nods her head as if she doesn’t mind as long as she can go out to play with me and stands up vigorously.

She then looks at me and speaks urgently to me with a somewhat shining expression.

“We don’t have much time left before we have to go back, so let’s go quickly. “If it’s too late, your father might be worried.”

I nodded, thinking this was my first time seeing Shien in such a hurry.

Shien tightened her grip on the hand she was holding and led me outside.

*

Summer hasn’t arrived yet and the weather is cold.

I covered Shien with her coat and thought as I slowly walked around the park.

‘It’s a park.’

I have seen many views from the mansion, but this is my first time coming down and walking around here.

When I was lost in thought for a moment, I thought to myself that I have definitely lived a hard life since coming here.

Sien talks to me, holding my arm tightly in her own.

“I, it’s cold.”

It would have been quite persuasive if he had taken off the coat I had covered him with earlier, but saying that with his coat on was just laughable.

Still, I liked the warmth wrapped around my arm, so I decided to leave it alone and nodded.

“I see.”

“Yes. So, Lord Dern, please stick to me so you don’t get cold.”

It seems like it’s already stuck as much as it can, so how can it stick any further?

I think Shien’s demands are excessive and give him a light reprimand.

Shien blinked her eyes and looked at me, then spoke with a small smile.

“Lord Dern, this reminds me of when I was young.”

I couldn’t say anything at those words.

Because childhood was ‘Dern’s’, not ‘mine’.

So, she just looked at Shien in silence, and Shien smiled softly as if he missed his childhood and continued speaking.

“I remember when I was young, Lord Dern bandaged my knee when I fell.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Lord Dern was young at the time, so the bandage was done with some poor skill, so it didn’t take long for it to come off… To this day, I still feel like the bandage that Lord Dern gave me remains in my heart.”

Then Shien put her bare legs forward and laughed.

She soon raises her skirt slightly with her white hands and talks to me.

“I haven’t told you in a while, but I am truly grateful… No, I am thankful. “It’s a memory that still gives me strength even to this day.”

With those words, I couldn’t help but look at Shien in silence and get lost in her thoughts.

Sien me… No, I like Dern.

This is because I was once again reminded of the fact that the ‘real Dern’ was due to his actions in the past.

‘… ‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

That’s why she was biting her lip, thinking that she didn’t know how to deal with Shien.

Shien whispers to me with a smug look on his face, as if he remembered something.

“Lord Adern. “I made sure that the graffiti you did last time won’t be erased with magic solution.”

If it’s graffiti, it probably means the idiot written on the chest and the idiot written on the thigh.

I felt embarrassed at those words and quickly looked at Shien.

Shien continues her words to me with a still playful expression.

“Now that it has come to that, you must take responsibility. “If other people find out that I have these graffiti, I will not be able to get married even though I am a virgin.”

I tried to say something to those words.

Before that, Shien hugs me as if he were being held in my arms and whispers in a low voice.

“Of course… I belong to Lord Dern. “There is no need to worry about that.”

A calm confession.

I was looking at Shien, thinking that the emotion I clearly felt was heavier than usual.

Shien talks to me as her face turns red, as if she is becoming more and more embarrassed.

“Ah… ! Now, just kidding. “You can erase it at any time using another magic solution, so don’t worry too much.”

I don’t know what to say in response, so I just keep her mouth shut.

Sien looks at me, smiles brightly and talks to me.

“Still, I hope you take responsibility. “I want to walk with Lord Dern forever.”

After those words, I couldn’t hold out any longer, so I took a deep breath and spoke briefly.

“Sien. “Maybe I am not the Dern you knew.”

I thought it would be better to speak directly rather than talking back, so I tried talking about it openly.

Sien smiles and says that he may have taken it differently than I intended.

“I know.”

“That’s not what I meant. I am … “

The moment when you open your mouth to tell a more accurate story.

Shien lifted her body up on her tiptoes, and she lightly touched her lips to mine and spoke.

“… It doesn’t matter if Lord Dern is not the Lord Dern I knew. Even if he is not the Lord Dern I know, this feeling will remain unchanged.”

“…… “

The soft touch of her lips and the sweet scent lingering at the tip of my nose.

I stood there blankly for a moment, forgetting everything I was going to say before that feeling.

Sien talks to me, even his earlobes turning bright red.

“So… “

As she spoke, a rush of shame and shame came over her.

Her last words could not be continued and she just lowered her head.

I was looking at Shien like that and worrying that I really didn’t know what to do.

“… “Hiccup.”

Some strange sound is heard nearby.

I was very surprised by that sound and immediately looked around.

I saw Espin hiding in the grass and Rumi on the verge of crying.
